Oracle, SAP, and IBM conduct thousands of software audits every year — and 90% of enterprises have some level of licensing non-compliance. Answer 12 questions and get an instant risk score, plus specific findings and recommended actions.
Answer honestly — the more accurate your answers, the more useful your risk score.
If we reduce your audit exposure or negotiate a settlement below the vendor's initial claim, we take 25% of the difference. If we don't improve your position, you pay nothing. We've resolved over $200M in total audit exposure.
Oracle's License Management Services (LMS) team runs a structured audit pipeline that prioritises targets based on a scoring model. The factors that push an enterprise up that list include: renewal negotiations that went poorly for Oracle, enterprise acquisitions or mergers that create licensing gaps, public information about new deployment activity, and long periods since the last compliance review. SAP uses its USMM and LAW tools to identify indirect access and Digital Access exposure. IBM's sub-capacity ILMT non-compliance is the source of hundreds of millions in annual audit settlements.
The enterprises that avoid costly audit outcomes don't do it by hoping they're compliant. They do it by maintaining accurate licence inventories, running self-assessment programmes, keeping ILMT or equivalent tools properly deployed, and having an independent expert review their position before a vendor does.
Our software audit defence service is available both proactively — to identify and remediate risk before an audit letter arrives — and reactively, to negotiate and defend against an active audit. The earlier we engage, the more options we have and the better your outcome.
